An old joke meme, mostly, but I've heard it said that it might actually be getting rather good at 'champagne method' products. Maybe they can work something similar as with "Somerset brie", for cheese, which gets around any geographic restrictions and makes a feature of its 'new' origin. Noting that Britain used to have many, many good cheeses, until WW2 effectively closed down most of the non-hard varieties for practical supply/demand reasons, somehow making "cheddar" hypernym for much of the hard-and-uncrumbly remainder. But over the last few decades there have been more 'rediscovered' and otherwise-artisan cheeses like even the french-style soft cheeses.</ins></div></td></tr>

Brewing is ancient (6th M. BC), tea only very old (3rd-1st M. BC, depending upon if you believe legends) and didn't reach Europe properly until 'fairly old' times (late 1500s, becoming popular by 1700s), though of course in time for the people of Boston to try the "very weak, barely any milk, somewhat salty" variation of impromptu cold-brewed cuppa.</ins></div></td></tr>

But beer, and tea, has to have gone through rather obvious processes to become so. Not perfect, but a good indicator that the water wasn't just slightly (insufficiently) warmed, to save time/fuel, or the boiled water was topped up with untreated 'fresh' water (again, to save bother in a process that wasn't really understood as to what it was doing). Tea, and later coffee, switched different stimulants for beer/wine/gin/etc and allowed "tea-total" movements to develop that eschewed alchol ''without'' the problem of securing a pure source of water, and/or desperately hoping that your drink did ''not'' taste strongly of anything.</ins></div></td></tr>

Yes, there are plenty of people who legitimately enjoy beer--I'm definitely one of them. No, not all American beer tastes like piss--there are tons of great craft breweries in this country. Yes, there is a tradition of social pressure surrounding alcohol consumption--many of my close friends feel pressure to drink even though they do not enjoy alcohol. Yes, overconsumption of alcohol can have negative effects on your physical and mental health. No, not everybody who enjoys a drink (or even getting drunk occasionally) turns into a bumbling fool or destroys their brain cells--I've consumed a lot of alcohol in my lifetime and have definitely gone overboard on occasion, but I still managed to get a BS in math and land a somewhat lucrative IT job. </ins></div></td></tr>

I find tomatoes to be absolutely disgusting, but that certainly doesn't mean that everybody who likes tomatoes is just pretending. Of course I understand that my example isn't directly analagous (I don't really feel any social pressure to eat tomatoes), but to me it's a pretty big stretch to say that ''nobody'' actually likes beer just because Cueball (or Randall, presumably) doesn't like it.</ins></div></td></tr>
